"The re-emergence of the city from the long shadow of the state in the late-twentieth century was facilitated by the state itself. The unprecedented size and scale of today's global cities and mega cities owe their conditions of possibility to a fundamental shift in the character of political order at the level of the international system. This book argues that we must understand the rise of the global city as part of a wider process of the transformation of international political order, and of the character of international society. Global cities are an inscription of the ideals of a market society in space, constructed and defended at the level of international society. They embody the ascendance of a set of liberal principles at a certain moment in history--a moment related to the hegemonic status of leading states in the second half of the twentieth century, and the ability of those states to shape international norms. But the evolution of these urban forms has also reflected the tendency for deregulated markets to generate inequality and polarisation: these features are also inscribed in the spaces of global cities. Global cities focus and amplify the tensions and contradictions within the contemporary international system, and become key strategic sites for struggles over social justice and the character of political life in the twenty-first century. Global Cities and Global Order demonstrates that the significance of the re-emergence of cities from the shadow of the nation-state is far-reaching. Only be examining the mechanisms by which cities have become empowered in the last few decades can we understand their new functions and capabilities in global politics."-- Cities and towns Urban policy Globalization Cities and towns (OCoLC)fst00861748 fast Globalization (OCoLC)fst00943532 fast Urban policy (OCoLC)fst01162489 fast Mondialisation Villes ram Sociologie urbaine ram https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198744016.001.0001/acprof-9780198744016 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Oxford Scholarship Online Political Science Oxford Scholarship Online E-Books von 360MarcUpdates IDSBB B405 B405 405VT IDSBB 100 1- Curtis Simon Lecturer in international politics [author] IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198744016.001.0001/acprof-9780198744016 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 438033027
